Hotel Philia - A 3-star historic Rome hotel in a 19th-century Umbertino building with soundproofed rooms

Located in the Castro Pretorio district, Hotel Philia occupies a 19th-century Umbertino building just 984.3 ft from Termini Railway Station. This 3-star Rome hotel features 48 air-conditioned rooms equipped with flat-screen TVs, safes, and high-speed WiFi reaching 100+ Mbps. Each soundproofed room includes a private bathroom with a shower, bidet, hairdryer, and complimentary toiletries. Guest amenities include a bar/lounge, coffee shop, and 24-hour front desk staffed by multilingual personnel. The property's central position places the Basilica of St. Mary of the Angels and the Martyrs within 1640.4 ft, while the Museum of Contemporary Art of Rome is 1 mile away. Major attractions like the Colosseum, Spanish Steps, and Piazza Navona are all within 1.5 miles, with eight restaurants available within 984.3 ft of Philia's entrance.

Pros

Historic 19th-century Umbertino architecture

High-speed internet at 100+ Mbps throughout the property

Eight diverse dining options within 984.3 ft

Cons

“Hotel Philia strikes me as a refreshingly unpretentious option near Termini, where a clean, updated room and a helpful English-speaking staff can be a real find. It's the kind of place where you can handle practicalities-laundry, transport-with ease, leaving you free to focus on Rome itself. For those prioritizing location, functionality, and a bit of local flavor over luxury, it's a solid base.”
